One day a young man is visiting the fair. Over to one side is a small tent, with a sign that says "For $50 I'll teach you to be a mind reader. Apply within."
The young man goes inside and finds a wizened old man sitting behind a small table. He tells the old fellow he wants to learn to be a mind reader, and the old man takes him out the back of the tent to a hose coming from a tap in the ground.
"For your first lesson," he says, "hold this hose, look in the end and tell me what you see."
The young man looks into the end of the hose and sees only darkness.
"I don't see anything," he says.
At that, the old man turns on a tap, and the hose shoots water into the young man's face.
"I just knew you'd do something like that," the young man shouts at the old man.
"There. You are now a mind reader," the old man replies. "That'll be $50."
